Tunnel Diode Detectors from Pasternack

Pasternack offers 26 models of tunnel diode detectors that feature rugged Germanium planar construction and operate over octave and broadband frequencies that range from 100 MHz to 26 GHz.

The zero biased tunnel diode detector designs are available in both positive and negative video output polarities and offer excellent dynamic range with very efficient low-level signal detection.

These tunnel diode detectors have maximum input power handling of +17 dBm and exhibit a flat video output response across wide frequency bands over a maximum temperature range of -65°C to +115°C and feature an extremely fast pulse response risetime of 5 ns typical.

The detectors are ideal for prototype and proof-of-concept applications used in aerospace and defense, military and commercial radar, test and measurement, SATCOM applications and more. All models are RoHS and REACH compliant and are available in compact cylindrical packages that feature an SMA male RF input connector and an SMA female video output connector.

Pasternack’s tunnel diode detectors are in-stock and available for same-day shipping.
